Chapter 4

"Heal her, damn it, heal her" Piper screamed at Leo.

"You know I can't. I can't heal the dead, I'm so sorry." Leo answered and watched helplessly as Paige and Piper were crying, holding onto Phoebe's body.

"Piper, they are calling me, I'll be right back" and Leo orbed out to go see the Elders. When he got back he looked even more upset.

"I'm sorry, but they want Phoebe's body. I don't know why, but my guess is they wanna see if they can somehow manage to get her power."

"No way" Paige yelled, but Piper got up slowly and looked at Leo.

"Leo, Paige, I think we should go upstairs and somon Cole. He should know." Leo looked at his wife. He understood that she gave into the Elders, but not without letting Cole say goodbye to Phoebe.

Paige, Piper and Leo went upstairs and the sister's somoned Cole. Once they finished their spell, Cole appeared. He looked pretty bad, he hadn't shaved in days and his eyes looked tired and restless.

"What is it? What's wrong?" He asked surprised and worried. When nobody answered Cole got really nervous.

"What's wrong? Is it Phoebe?" By the look on Leo's eyes he could tell that it indeed had to do with Phoebe.

"Where is she? Is she okay?" He asked again. Leo couldn't take it any longer and stepped towards Cole.

"I'm sorry. You see, the Source took her, because Jeff was working for him. We all told Phoebe not to trust the guy, but she wouldn't listen..."

"Stop it Leo," Cole interrupted "we need to go and get her." Cole was really scared by now and Piper and Paige started to cry again. Slowly Piper went to Cole and hugged him and wouldn't let go.

"God, she loved you so much. She always loved you and never stopped. Don't you doubt that for a second. She believed you were her soul mate and she was right." And slowly Cole understood.

"Where is she?" Piper took his hand and let him downstairs into the living room. And their Cole saw his Phoebe. She looked like she was sleeping; yet her face seemed hurt and scared. Cole kneeled down next to her and rested his head on her chest and cried. He cried for all the wrong in his life, for his demon half, for his human half, for all the evil he had done, but most of all he cried for Phoebe, for loosing the love of his life. Never had a demon cried as much as Cole cried now. He was a broken man and would never be the same he used to be.
